It has to be noted that Brunt also favours a role on the left, which would place him as direct competition to Jarvis, but he could be shifted inside and would provide useful cover in other areas if Tony Pulis opts to take him out of the side completely.

West Brom certainly need someone to help Said Berahino shoulder the attacking burden and it could be that Jarvis would be a shrewd addition with plenty of points still to play for.
